I'm going to pop in again tomorrow to see if they have any more and also get another couple of the scratch posts, but I've decided against the kitten ones because I'm a bit concerned with them swallowing the wool  :sneaky:

Dawn, they're the ones I got. :) Loads of people say how nice they look so I take great pleasure in saying "Yep, they were £2.99 from Lidl!" ;D

I got some of the mouse toys but they didn't have any of the cat posts when I went in there.  May get some of the bowls today though.

The ones with rubber to stabilise the dish? I bought some of the other style last time they were on offer and my cats seem to quite like them. :)

I've bought mine another one of the triangular shaped post and also a couple of the other kitten post.  Although these look quite nice, I'm not really impressed.  Emily has been wrecking the pom poms on them and pulling all the wool out  :sneaky:  She is comical as she growls like mad whilst wrecking them, but I'd be a bit concerned if any of them swallowed the strands of wool, so a close eye has to be kept on her whilst playing with it.  I also bought a couple of the dishes with the stands, these are ideal for the kitten cages and it stops them knocking the dishes of water over.

Humph! They'd sold out of the one I liked anyway. (If they even had the design in in the first place.) Ah well, decision made. :)

It puts me in two minds about picking one up if they can't use the sleeping bit! I shall decide today. Thanks for the input guys! :)

yes, I think they like their 'caves' to be off the ground at least a foot. Right on the ground like that, and without a low barrier at the entrance, it is too exposed for them to feel safe ...

The bottom bit is big enough for an adult to sleep in but they'd have to be curled up and it's not really big enough for a 'big' cat. Neither Tiggy nor the boys have ever showed an interest in sleeping in it though!

Ahhhh, Madam Tiggy looks lovely in that picture. :)

So, the bottom is big enough for an adult cat to sleep in? My concerns are (a)that they wouldn't be able to use the cubby and (b)the scratching area wouldn't give them adequate "stretch" so they wouldnt use it!

Not sure about the red ones but you can see the rough size of the blue one in comparison to the gorgeous Tiggy in this pic  :)  She wasn't overly fussed and had to be lured in with some catnip and a mouse but she was 18 so understandable  :)

Can anyone give me rough measurements for these cat posts? (Specifically the red/burgundy one if possible!) I think they look great fun, but if they're too big my partner won't be happy with another ridiculously large post appearing! (Not that I blame him, we have a pretty huge one in the corner of our living room and I'd want this one for the front room!)

I know I did and they are still in very good condition.

They are a decent size, Tom was somewhere between 7 and 8kg at the time I bought mine and he could sit on it, as could Ginger at just over 5kg. It doesn't get used much now though, so I might not bother again, although I wanted teh blue one.

There was a huge thread on Catchat about them last year and we all posted pics of the kittens playing on them,really good value; am sure I remember Desleys Tom on one too.
I bought 6 last year and will probably get another 6 this year.

I must steer well clear of those. I bought a huge one for mine but none of them would go near it. I think they probably have to be introduced to them young. Anyway, its earning its keep at Caroline's now (One of Sharon's fosterers)
I would love to see them play on one  :(
